Clear nail polish works to stop it from ripping more. You could attach a band of lace or some pretty fabric over the bottom if you don't want to hem it. If you do hem it, you could attach something on the bottom to make it longer, like this: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/a-skirt-which-can-turn-the-top-a-dress-or-make-a-short-dress-longer
